Cyber-stalking resources
 

Since there seems to be no shortage of harassment taking place these days,
right down to veiled threats to contact people's employers, here is the
URL of a site that belongs to the US Department of Justice.

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/vawo/grants...98/appende.htm

There are laws against people posting defamatory content online, as well
as using the internet as a way to stalk or harass people.

Have we any attorneys posting or lurking here who might like to provide
input, perhaps on things like the proper method of seeking legal redress
against online stalking and harassment?

It appears, at least to my non-legally-trained eye, that some behavior on
this board has exceeded the boundaries of mere trolling. There are posts
on this newsgroup that might well give the intended victim legal recourse
to take action against the persons who've posted them.

Thanks for the link. I didn't bother reporting the nasty, threatening email
I got because it was sent through an anonymous re-mailer (and quite a few of
these posts are sent the same way). In those cases, I don't think there's
anything that can be done since the re-mailer host is in another country!

Hugs,

I think that anyone being harrassed by Mary (who lives in NC)
needs to report her to the FBI. NC law doesn't accept this type
of behavior.

(2) Electronically mail or electronically communicate to another
repeatedly, whether or not conversation ensues, for the purpose of
abusing, annoying, threatening, terrifying, harassing, or
embarrassing any person.

Guess what, genius? When it's a fact, it's not defaming, libeling, or
slandering. Everything I have claimed about Dan Mahoney of
Highland, California is not only true but completely documented
in public records.

Why, yes, I think we might have a few attorneys posting here.:)

What Dan has done in lying to us, derailing the adoption we planned
for Conan, and putting him in a cage for two weeks is fact. My speaking
out against what he has done and urging him to take this cat to the home
we had planned, or to any home, is my legal right and, in my view, a
moral imperative.

So sure, let's go. Bring it to litigation. I haven't spent my mad money
for the past three quarters. :O)

Why is this arguing on rpca, instead of on the newsgroup where it
started? I don't know a damn thing about what Dan has or has not done,
and honestly, I don't care. I come here to read stories about cats,
not look at thread after thread of name-calling, finger-pointing,
disgusting images, and arguing about an issue I have never been
involved in and that has nothing to do with me.

If you have an issue with someone, TAKE IT TO EMAIL or TAKE IT TO
INSTANT MESSENGER or something.

PLEASE keep it from disturbing everyone else who has never been
involved with it!

I think this is a great idea. Call the FBI, and I will tell them
all about my Free Conan campaign.

You are such an idiot, Cheryl.

Seems ok to me? I bet there are just some sore losers in here.

Panty wads, and panty waists

Hey, this discussion has all the elements of the sign on the door.

Hello! PING Enchilada

Help help! They make me read these posts.

Look, if someone can post about taking a dump, I think you can handle
this...what do you think.

Stop stop, you're disturbing my eyes!
